Omg, HOW EXPENSIVE are pantomimes? Why did I expect them to be moderately affordable? An afternoon showing on an early December showing, cheapest ticket is £24.50?!
I’ve never seen one and I thought it might be fun for Darwin, but that’s so expensive (and that’s before all the additional ticket nonsense like Grim has just put up).
Been to the panto at the Hammersmith Lyric for the last few years and it is properly excellent. Top notch production, good music, magical, a bit political, very much proud of London's community. I've never actually paid as it's been a work jolly, but would imagine it's not terribly cheap.
But if you do have to fork out for panto, I'd say it's one worth forking out for.
Also, not a celebrity star in sight.
